The Children’s Ministry of Bethany Church exists to glorify God by supporting families in their God-ordained responsibility to raise their children in the discipline and instruction of the Lord. (Ephesians. 6:4)

Babies

Infants - crawlers

Our nursery is staffed with loving volunteers ready to tenderly care for your child. No food is served in this room other than what is provided by the parent. Our nursery is equipped with cribs, swings and toys to engage curious minds.

A private area is also available for nursing mothers.

*This class is offered during Equipping Hour and during Sunday morning and evening services.

Toddlers

Walkers - 3 years

We welcome our toddlers with free play to ease transition into the classroom. Our curriculum aims to train young children how to sit during a brief Bible story and participate in songs that teach biblical truths. A gluten-free snack is provided at each service.

*This class is offered during Equipping Hour and during Sunday morning and evening services.

Preschool

3 - 5 years

Our preschool program encourages classroom participation while learning Biblical truths. Each activity is prepared with the Bible lesson in mind to help our preschoolers remember what they have learned.

*This class is offered in Room 101 during Sunday morning service and in the nursery during evening service.

a ministry for parents & children

TODDLERS - 5th grade

Parents and children are welcomed and encouraged to praise God together through fun worship songs. We will also have a short Bible lesson followed by Family Table Time. The Family Table Time is designed to facilitate family discussions that reinforce important biblical truths from the lesson using thought provoking and creative learning activities. We also encourage each family to use the Generations of Grace Companion Family Devotional Booklet during the week ($10). The Devotional Booklet has daily passages and discussion questions to help the father/parents disciple their children at home daily by both reviewing and going in-depth on the lesson and bible passages taught the prior Sunday.

Join us for a time of fellowship, singing, and learning!

Sundays | 9:00 AM | Community Room

*This class is offered during Equipping Hour. A sermon note sheet designed specifically for children is available to encourage active listening during the main service.
